I did ask, didn't I! The reason I asked was because my brother-in-law has recently changed some of his orchard land over to a system that seems very much like the one described above. From what I gather, it does seem to have had more benefits than problems. If you'd like, I'll talk to him and report back with pros and cons. It might be tomorrow though before I talk to him. Dee

What's the 'Super spindle system'?

:biggrin:

Is it due to the possibility of losing grip on the controling hand and then descending too rapidly?

I use a Stop.

When asked about his remarkable longevity, an old-timer replied "Just keep breathin'." Wise words I think.

WeeDee replied to Tony Croft aka hamadryad's topic in Ecology
Whoah there horsie! Not everyone dispels 'academic speaking' with such a carefree side-step, so don't get too defensive, Bundle. I happen to appreciate logical supposition and evidence-based inference, and I also understand what you are saying (and have said in the past) much more clearly than others who appear to pluck conclusions from the ether and then proceed to find supporting evidence. Of course, I only speak as someone with a BSc in Environmental sciences - so I would say that wouldn't I? -
I used to have a plastic patio chair in the garden, but now I realise that it's actually an open-air Sea Harrier cockpit.

You're not 'with it', Steve. Haven't you read the thread? Can't you SEE it? It's a BOAT! (in a tree).

Oh - NOW I see! (How could have I missed it?!)

It's a hammock, right?

It would probably be called 'tree-sickness' - eh?

Ctenicera, before you started out on your CS31, were you any good at working with small trees? Probably not! Before any of us are good at something, we're bad at it. Stop finding problems - they'll find you before long. If you're lucky, the useful problems will present themselves and you'll be wiser for the event. If you're unlucky, then at least you'll know that you are working at your own 'safe' level. So unless you're happy knowing just that small bit of yourself, so-far discovered, my advice would be "Stop if'ing and get out there!" Keep us posted. Dee

The snow drift you speak of is two inches deep, you know?

I think it was intended to support the editorial view that this man was a reasonable member of society and of value to his community. As for your honourable belief in equality, Hamadryad, somehow I can't help but value myself, my family or even the blinkered judge over the now brain-damaged attacker.

Even early on a wet Tuesday?

Gavin, forgive me but am I missing the 'extreme sports' side of this profession. Is this view of tree care becoming more popular in colleges these days? Dee

Still cameras do have a buffer - but the buffering capacity will eventually fill up ie. a high end DSLR might be able to take 90 jpeg images within a matter of seconds but will then need time afterwards (when the shutter is not being pressed) to finish processing these images - maybe 10 seconds continuous shooting and then 20 seconds playing 'catch up'. But because a video stream is usually continuous, there isn't downtime - unless you remove frames from every second of footage. With smooth, HD capture, you can't afford to omit frames.

Not quite, Rupe. The card's processing rate is the 'speed' at which data can be recorded onto it. If the camera records in HD (or if a stills camera records in high M-pixels) then every second's worth of recording holds more data and, if you want to record in real-time, each second's worth of recording requires greater processing rate to file that info into a memory card. So a card is needed that can be 'force-fed' this larger amount of data per second. This info only applies to one part of your thread - I realise that your camera doesn't record in HD. Dee

You could also have your dog walking up to people and 'talking' to them! Imagine what the postman would do!

I've just the passage above and am interested in the idea that 'understanding' can evolve. I can't make my mind up about what is being said because I feel that much more would need to be explained or proposed (as I'm sure is the case). However, I'm determined that my ignorance will not prevent me keeping an open mind until I know more of the argument. Thanks for posting, Hamadryad.

You seem to be very aware of the crossroad that you've come to in life, Conway. The 'seriousness' of the situation doesn't seem to be lost on you - that's good. So, because of the potential for things to go very well or very badly (over the next few years) you need to consider every option and work through each challenge carefully. Asking advice from a forum such as this is a good start. And with advice from these 'three wise men' how can you go wrong! The Christmas spirit even has them agreeing with each other. Good luck - and keep us up to date.

My first aid certificate is a Mountain First-aid one that has to be kept up-dated for my outdoor pursuits instruction work. It's not very different from the basic cert. except that it develops areas such as full body examination and extended periods of first aid (whilst awaiting far-off help).

I can't remember either, but I do know that these chemicals have allelopathic properties.

And at those temperatures, would there be sufficient activity in the cells?
